It takes place in the Physics Department of ENS, 24 rue Lhomond, room GH206 (F. Chevy's office - "directeur des études"). It is close to Werner Krauth's office, where the offices of the administration of the Physics Department are. To find the room, take the main entrance and go to 1st floor. Follow the indications (you have to find a small stair at the end of the main corridor of 1st floor). Please check that you can find the room before your actual time of passage.
Thirteen (blue) spheres on the surface of a central (red) sphere (example for simulated annealing).
A general course in computational physics, with applications in statistical physics, physics of liquids, atomic and condensed-matter physics.
Where does this course take place
Because of the construction work going on at ENS, the 2013/14 course takes place at the University of Orsay: Moyen Amphi LPS Université d'Orsay Directions for going to LPS Orsay
This is just a 35 minute RER ride (to the "Le Guichet station")+ 7 minute workout (uphill running) from central Paris.
